Hands down the best pie I've ever had was from CA mountain bakery. I've never had boysenberry apple…read morepie (I never knew I liked boysenberry) but my friend wanted to try it so I ordered a frozen pie to go and we all loved it and agreed it's the best we've had. Even a frozen pie that I cooked at home was amazing, Of course when I was there to pick up the to go pie, we decided to try their breakfast sandwich and apple pie with cinnamon ice cream...everything was so good. Oh and I did order frozen pot pies to eat at home and I really enjoyed it as well. I know Julian may not be a place many of you thought of checking out but this place alone makes ir worth the drive. The small town of Julian is adorable and I highly recommend you go at some point. They are known for apple everything ~ cider, etc.,

I found my favorite pie shop…read more I heard that California Mountain Bakery is the best pie shop in California so me and one other person had to put it to the test. We made the drive out to grab one of their pies to bring back and try. I was impressed they had 8 different types of pies the day we came. The staff was really nice and answered all our questions. We ended up getting their Summerberry Apple pie which was an apple pie with all sorts of berries in it. It was absolutely insanely delicious. It was perfectly sweeten, had the perfect filling to crust ratio, and the crumble on top was heavenly. It was a hit with our friends back home and highly addicting. I recommend it. Besides their popular pies they also had cinnamon buns, cookies, sweet and savory pastries. I did also get a blueberry scone which was alright but I probably wouldn't get again. California Mountain Bakery also has a full food menu which carries items like sandwiches. The restaurant is pretty large. You order at the register and they'll call you when its ready. There's a whole dining area inside and out. I would most definitely be back and highly recommend them.

There were some cookies with powdered sugar and chocolate chips on white cookies that were really good. I did not like the bear claw looking thing it maybe had tamarind paste inside and was stale. They had donuts too and they were not that great either but maybe that is how they like them in Mexico? I also had a snowball cookie thing that reminded me of hostess snowballs. I did like them enough to go back and grab a bunch for my coworkers on the way out. It was super cheap too. My box of goodies was about $4 american.

This is some of the most dry and flavorless pastries I've ever had. It was painfully easy to spend US$60 here for about $6 dollars worth of flavor. I'm still amazed that they ruined a simple cream filled pie and anything that was supposed to be chocolate flavored was sadly void of even a hint of a chocolate flavor. Given the name "The Best Bread in Tecate" along with the higher than normal prices - I was expecting some incredible pastries and breads, but that wasn't the case here. Maybe it's fallen victim to its own fame where the quality is dropped to keep up with demand

This has become a go-to spot post-hike in the area and always is the treat I look forward to. On my most recent visit I had the BLT which had avocado, an egg, and chipotle mayo on brioche - hit the spot. Each sandwich comes on a different type of bread, which adds to the flavor profiles for each. Sometimes places just put it all on wheat or sourdough, but I like how the bread is paired to add to the sandwich. There's seating inside and out and always plenty of parking, though I can imagine on the weekend, it's more competitive. Although the spot has been around for a while, I just recently got introduced to it on enthusiastic recommendations from others, so I pass that enthusiastic recommendations onto you.
